08 Sep If you suffer from back pain, Physical Therapy may be the answer

Do you suffer from chronic back pain?

If you have persistent back pain after two weeks, it is important to seek professional help. Depending on the nature of the injury, courses of treatment will vary, but exercise will be key component towards recovery and alleviation for many patients.

Back pain often stems from disc issues, sprains and/or fractures due to injury, or acquired conditions such as arthritis or pregnancy. Knowing what exercises are best for your injury will be integral to a fast and effective recovery, and without the help of a medical professional, you may be doing more harm than good.

It is important to make an appointment with a physical therapist before you begin any back strengthening exercise regimen at home. A physical therapist will help to address the specific components of your back injury and will create a personalized exercise regime helping you to heal efficiently. These exercises would be done under the supervision of the physical therapist to promote proper form and execution, and depending on your injury, he or she might recommend an at-home regime for back strengthening and pain relief.

Depending on the severity of your injury, the physical therapist may provide passive therapy. These practices are specialized treatments and will help with pain management as you go through the healing process.

Because back pain can be so debilitating, it’s important that you take all proper precautions on your road to recovery. With the help of a physical therapist and the right exercise regimen, you will heal quicker and be feeling like yourself again in no time!
